[QUOTE="Mexican Jon, post: 2418643, member: 545669"] The last part of 2020 I was putting weight on (I went from 115K to approx142K) and nothing seemed to work to lose weight, I also started falling asleep all the time including when I was standing up and couldn't get a good nights sleep. I work Offshore and work days and nights with short changes inbetween. Anyway the wife booked me in to a sleep clinic (I was tested several years ago and they said everything was normal) I was diagnosed with sleep apnea, I was waking up 74 times per hour and my snoring hit 110 Db! At this time they also said I had high blood pressure so the doctors prescibed Losatan 50mg and carried out a blood test which came back as pre diabetic but my cholesterol was fine. Move on 3 months my blood pressure is under control and within a normal range my weight is coming down via a calorie controlled diet (i've lost 15K) but my last blood test the doctor says I'm now diabetic with a reading of 61? I had just come off nights so had been up nearly 20 hours without proper food, So i'm confused after reading up on diet etc. I'm doing everything that a diabetic should, that's even before I was diagnosed. They have prescibed tablets without any consultation and I'm not sure whether I want to start taking them with out being retested when my sleep pattern and eating habits are normal. Any advice greatly recieved. Cheers Jon [/QUOTE]
